<p><b>Página nueva</b></p><div>==Background==<br />
*Enzyme found in liver (biliary), bone, intestine, and placenta<br />
*Elevated in cholestatic/obstructive liver disease and bone disorders<br />
<br />
==Normal Values==<br />
*Normal: 44-147 U/L (varies by age; higher in children and adolescents)<br />
<br />
==Interpretation==<br />
*Elevated with GGT: suggests hepatobiliary source (cholestasis, biliary obstruction, infiltrative liver disease)<br />
*Elevated without GGT: suggests bone source (fractures, Paget disease, bone metastases, growth in children)<br />
*Markedly elevated (>3x): biliary obstruction, primary biliary cholangitis, drug reaction<br />
*Isolated mild elevation in an asymptomatic patient is often benign<br />
